Definitions
- aspects of the disclosure generally relate to cloud management of battery profiles for storage and recovery.
- Battery capacity is an important parameter for a successful battery monitoring system. For example, accurate battery capacity is critical to the accurate estimation of state of charge. Battery capacity also determines how much energy is stored in the battery, and thus determines the EV range for an electrified vehicle. Battery capacity can fade with the battery aging, especially when the battery is intensively used. Therefore, electric vehicles include systems to learn information indicative of the capacity of the vehicle battery.
- a method includes responsive to detecting a change in a battery identifier of a battery of a vehicle, requesting a server, in communication with the vehicle over a wide-area network, to send a battery profile corresponding to the battery identifier to the vehicle; and utilizing the battery profile to adapt a battery control strategy for the battery.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example system for provisioning of battery profiles to vehicles.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an example process for provisioning battery profiles to vehicles
- FIG. 4 illustrates an example process for utilizing battery age as a factor in provisioning battery profiles to vehicles.
- a battery energy control module (BECM) of a vehicle is designed to utilize certain battery characteristics (such as battery pack capacity and battery power capability). These characteristics are normally learned during vehicle operation by the BECM and, as they change, the battery control strategy adapts accordingly.
- Remotely stored battery profiles may be used to quickly recover learned characteristics for a given battery and transfer these characteristics to the BECM.
- the proliferation of embedded modems in vehicles makes it possible for the BECM to periodically offload a battery profile to a cloud data base.
- the battery profile may include a unique identifier which corresponds to a specific battery pack.
- the BECM may direct the vehicle to request the most recent battery profile associated with that battery pack from a remote database via the vehicle's embedded modem.
- the cloud manager may then return the requested profile, which will be forwarded by the vehicle to the BECM, enabling the battery control strategy to return to operation at an optimal level.

- Control logic or functions performed by the system controller may be represented by flow charts or similar diagrams in one or more figures. These figures provide representative control strategies and/or logic that may be implemented using one or more processing strategies such as event-driven, interrupt-driven, multi-tasking, multi-threading, and the like. As such, various steps or functions illustrated may be performed in the sequence illustrated, in parallel, or in some cases omitted. Although not always explicitly illustrated, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that one or more of the illustrated steps or functions may be repeatedly performed depending upon the particular processing strategy being used.

- the system controller may query for the current battery profile 110 being utilized by the BECM 232 , as well as for a unique identifier of the HV battery 112 . This information may be sent using the cellular modem 218 (or WiFi modem 220 ) to the battery profile server 108 .
- the system controller determines whether an identifier of the HV battery pack 112 has changed.
- the system controller may query the HV battery pack 112 for its battery identifier 210 . If the battery identifier 210 has changed since the last query, control passes to operation 308 . Otherwise, control returns to operation 302 .
- the system controller requests a battery profile 110 of the HV battery pack 112 identified by the new battery identifier 210 indicated at operation 306 .
- the system controller requests for the cellular modem 218 (or WiFi modem 220 ) to access the battery profile server 108 over the wide-area network 104 to request that the battery profile server 108 send a battery profile 110 corresponding to the battery identifier 210 .
- the system controller receives the requested battery profile 110 at 310 , responsive to the request at 308 .
- the system controller updates with the battery profile 110 that was received.

If the system controller determines to send an updated battery age, control passes to operation 410 . Otherwise, control returns to operation 402 .
- the system controller sends the battery age to the battery profile server 108 .
- the system controller may query for the current battery age being utilized by the BECM 232 , as well as for a unique identifier of the HV battery 112 . This information may be sent using the cellular modem 218 (or WiFi modem 220 ) to the battery profile server 108 .
- the system controller determines whether an identifier of the HV battery pack 112 has changed.
- the system controller may query the HV battery pack 112 for its battery identifier 210 . If the battery identifier 210 has changed since the last query, control passes to operation 414 . Otherwise, control returns to operation 402 .
- the system controller requests the battery age from the battery profile server 108 .
- the system controller requests for the cellular modem 218 (or WiFi modem 220 ) to access the battery profile server 108 over the wide-area network 104 to request that the battery profile server 108 send a battery age corresponding to the battery identifier 210 .
- the system controller receives the requested battery age at 416 , responsive to the request at 414 .
- the system controller updates the BECM 232 with the received battery age.
- the system controller writes the battery age to the BECM 232 via a predefined DID (e.g., 0x4810).
- control passes to operation 402 .

- Computing devices such as those of the system controller, generally include computer-executable instructions that may be executable by one or more processors of the computing devices.
- Computer-executable instructions may be compiled or interpreted from computer programs created using a variety of programming languages and/or technologies, including, without limitation, and either alone or in combination, JAVATM, C, C++, VISUAL BASIC, JAVA SCRIPT, PERL, etc.
- a processor or microprocessor receives instructions, e.g., from a memory, a computer-readable medium, etc., and executes these instructions, thereby performing one or more processes, including one or more of the processes described herein.
- Such instructions and other data may be stored and transmitted using a variety of computer-readable media.
- a computer-readable medium includes any non-transitory (e.g., tangible) medium that participates in providing data (e.g., instructions) that may be read by a computer (e.g., by a processor of a computing device).
- a medium may take many forms, including, but not limited to, non-volatile media and volatile media.
- Non-volatile media may include, for example, optical or magnetic disks and other persistent memory.
- Volatile media may include, for example, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), which typically constitutes a main memory.
- Such instructions may be transmitted by one or more transmission media, including coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise a system bus coupled to a processor of a computer.
- Computer-readable media include, for example, a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, any other magnetic medium, a CD-ROM, DVD, any other optical medium, punch cards, paper tape, any other physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a PROM, an EPROM, a FLASH-EEPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, or any other medium from which a computer can read.
- system elements may be implemented as computer-readable instructions (e.g., software) on one or more computing devices (e.g., servers, personal computers, etc.), stored on computer readable media associated therewith (e.g., disks, memories, etc.).
- a computer program product may comprise such instructions stored on computer readable media for carrying out the functions described herein. Some or all of the operations disclosed herein as being performed by the system controller may be such computer program products. In some examples, these computer program products may be provided as software that when executed by one or more processors provides the operations described herein. Alternatively, the computer program products may be provided as hardware or firmware, or combinations of software, hardware, and/or firmware.
